Jubilee, Kagome, and Shippo were waiting for InuYasha to pick out some modern day clothes. It had already been two hours and InuYasha has yet to find a piece of clothing. They fought with him all the way to the mall and into the store. Kagome looked at her watch for what seemed like the hundredth time. She thought she would give InuYasha the benefit of the doubt and let him choose his own clothes, "Okay, that's it his going to get some clothes that I pick out for him. InuYasha is taking too long and we still have to go to the children's clothing store to get Shippo some clothes as well."
"Why don't you go pick out some clothes for InuYasha while I take Shippo somewhere to run around for a bit." Jubilee suggested.
"That'll be great." Kagome turned to Jubilee, "Stay near by so you don't get lost. This is a big mall."
Jubilee picked the little boy up into her arms and carried him out of the store. She surveyed the area looking for a place to sit and watch Shippo. She wanted to make sure Shippo wouldn't get hurt if anyone came near by. Jubilee was curious why Kagome referred to the child as a fox demon and not a mutant child, a seemly odd mutant child. Most mutants receive their powers during adolescents. Shippo was running around in the small area where Jubilee told him to stay in.
"Jubilee watch," Shippo ran and did a swift high kick, "I saw Kouga do that to InuYasha a lot," He giggled, "It was so funny."
"Why would you say that was funny," Jubilee watched the little who now looked like a regular human child, "I have seen many people get hurt for those kinds of moves.
Shippo turned to Jubilee as if she was crazy, "That's just it where I come from you have to fight to survive. Kagome always said it was 'Survival of the fittest,'" Shippo's eyes started to water, "I was too weak to save my parents. Now they're dead. I have to become stronger so I don't loose my foster mom, Kagome."
"Oh, Shippo," Jubilee walked over and picked up the small boy as he started to cry, "You don't have to be strong here," She rocked the little boy in her arms gently soothing his aching heart. The little in her arms started to calm down as Jubilee held him. 'What kind of place did he come from?' She wondered if it was a safe place for the little boy to live. Kagome seemed to love the boy. She and InuYasha seemed to possess wise eyes that only those who have been through hard ships.
"Jubilee,"
"Yes, Shippo."
"Can you be my big sister? I always wanted one."
Jubilee chuckled, "Sure, Shippo."
Kagome watched as Jubilee picked up the fox kit and walked out of the store. Then she went to look for InuYasha. That man couldn't pick out an outfit if his life depended on it. Kagome walked around the store for fifteen minutes while looking for InuYasha. She found a couple of clothes that she thought InuYasha might like. She found two pairs of semi baggy pants; they were blue and black jeans in color. Turning towards the shirts she found some nice t-shirts that would show a little off but not too much. When Kagome finally found InuYasha he had found some of the same types of clothes that she had chosen for him.
"Hey InuYasha," She reached him without a seconds notice, "You have good taste in clothes. I found some pants just like those." Kagome took the pants out of his hands and looked at them. They were very similar in size and shape only one was red and the other was blue, a shade lighter then the one she had picked out, "Are you ready to try them on?"
"Why would I try them on?" InuYasha looked at Kagome, "It'll take too long and I am hungry."
"We have to make sure you can wear them," Kagome looked up at InuYasha with a smile that could melt the ice of any harden heart, "For Inu." She asked sweetly.
"Feh, Fine," InuYasha turned around to try the clothes on, "You me."
"Will ramen do?"
Kagome waited as InuYasha tried on the outfits. He had seven outfits in all, they all fit will and looked great on him. Kagome was surprised that he smiled at the clothes he picked out. He liked them all they weren't too binding. They were perfect and comfort able.
"Now we need to pick out some pairs of shoes."
Kagome and InuYasha walked to the shoe section. Kagome went directly to the sandals. She thought they would be more comfortable to InuYasha rather then enclosed shoes. She would pick out a pair of enclosed shoes incase he needed a pair of something. Sandals would be his main wear.
Kagome and InuYasha walked out of the store in time to see Shippo doing a handstand for Jubilee. Kagome clapped as soon as he got back up on his feet. When he realized who clapped he ran over and jumped into Kagome's arms. Kagome looked down at Shippo, "Did you have fun with Jubilee, Shippo."
"Yeah," Shippo was jumping up and down.
Kagome smiled, "So whose hungry?"
"I am," Shippo raised his hands and jumping up and down, "Guess what!"
"What," Kagome looked at her young fox friend.
"Jubilee said she would be my aunt."
"I am glad for you Shippo." Kagome smiled, "That's go get something to eat."
The group turned around and started to walk to the food court when they noticed a group of nasty looking teenagers were attacking a small kid. The kid looked to be about the age of thirteen with short black hair and pail silver skin. Kagome studied the boy. She noticed the boy was human but his aura, though showed fear, a little altered. That meant he was a mutant. That was the likely reason he was being attacked. Kagome looked over at her companions and noticed them watching.
"We should do something." Kagome said.
"Ya, let's go"
"Feh, why brother those kids will just for him again."
"Come on let's go I hit seeing this."
Kagome, Jubilee, and Shippo ran over to aid the boy in need. Kagome used an energy blasts to throw the boys off guard. The blast was too weak to hurt them just knock them off their feet. One of the boys jumped from the floor and charged at Kagome who was about to give him a high kick when InuYasha stepped in and punched him in the face knocking him out. The third one came after InuYasha. Jubilee blasted him into unconsciousness before he could reach InuYasha. Finally the teens were defeated and the boy was safe.
Kagome walked over to the boy, "Hi I am Kagome, this is Jubilee, InuYasha, and Shippo. What is your name?"
"Raidon Midori," The teenager said as he looked down at the floor. The boy seemed to be very shy.
"Where are your parents Raidon," Jubilee turned a gentle smile on the silver boy.
"I don't know." The boy was still looking down at the floor, "They kicked me out because I am a freak."
"Well, Raidon, you are a special person with special gifts." Jubilee explained, "All of us here have special gifts. Kagome turns into a human butterfly. Shippo is a human fox. InuYasha is a dog boy. I-," (couldn't resist)
"Watch it wench," InuYasha yelled at Jubilee's words.
Jubilee ignored him and continued, "I can do this." Jubilee let a blast of fireworks come out of her hands and up to the ceiling where they dissolved before they destroyed the ceiling.
The boy looked amazed, "I can shoot lighting out of my hands see." The thirteen year old stepped away from the group and let go of his said power.
"That's awesome Raidon," Kagome said.
"There is a place for people like us," Jubilee told the boy, "The school teaches us how to control our power and use them to help others. Would you like to come with us?"
The boy nodded shyly, "Then it's settled," Kagome took Shippo's hand, "let's go eat."
